Nothing

Your smile is fading
From the photograph I keep
I trace it, retrace it
But your magic runs too deep
The sun beats my hair down
I'm missing you like hell these days
It never gets better
You only get further away
And so we'll live
And we'll grow and we'll change
And we'll never see each other again
And then we'll die
Am I supposed to be okay with that
My friends mean no harm
When they feed me wonder bread advice
They want to cheer me up
They like me when I'm looking nice
They want to, they want to
Divide my love for you
Into separate sections
Until I forget just what the whole thing meant
And then we'll live
And we'll grow and we'll change
And we'll never hug each other again
And then we'll die
And after that I guess I won't be around to care
Yeah
I only have fifty years or so
Of agony to go
And then nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
What if it were different
What if we had unlimited time
What would we do with it
What would we do
What would we do with it
Me and you
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
That's what we're gonna be
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
It's not enough for me
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
I need a second chance
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
I did everything wrong
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing whatsoever at all
Nothing really matters at all
Nothing

This is a very bad song you're writing
God, what a shitty song you made
This is a very bad song you're writing
It's never going to get played
By anyone in their car
On their way home from work
It's the worst song I have ever heard
You're a musician
But nobody listens
You like to play shows
But nobody goes
This is a very bad song you're writing
God, what a shitty song you made
This is a very bad song you're writing
It's never going to get played
By anyone at their wedding
For the father-daughter dance
It's the worst song, it's no Pomp and Circumstance
You've cut a few albums
But nobody has 'em
You like to play instruments
Poorly, no offense
This is a very bad song you're writing
God, what a shitty song you made
This is a very bad song you're writing
It's never going to get played
By anyone on a TV show
During a memorable montage
It's the worst song, and it should've stayed in your garage
You like to sing
I guess that's your thing
You won an award
Just kidding you gullible dumbass
This is a very bad song you're writing
God, what a shitty song you made
This is a very bad song you're writing
It's never going to get played
By anyone covering songs
For their YouTube followers
It's the worst song, even among amateurs
And you're the worst person in the universe

The earth is filth
The air is ash
The sun's an open wound
And you and I
You and I are trash
Let's blow each other to pieces
Let's have a blast
I want you to deplete me
Use me well
Do it hard and fast
Treat me like the trash I am
I wanna be the object of your passion
Only you can understand
It don't matter, treat me bad
Make me happy or make me sad
Give me an excuse
Give me some action
I visit places
Where I had good times
Where I momentarily forgot
About penance for my crimes
God was here
A long time ago
Don't bother calling him
'Cause he don't answer
Numbers he don't know
He treats me like the trash I am
How I long to be the object of his passion
But he throws me out upon my ass
I will keep on running back
He's got a temper, but I don't mind that
'Cause he gives me meaning
Gives me some action
I worry I'm addicted
I worry I can't stop
I wanna be important
I wanna win
I wanna be on top
And nothing makes me better
I can't be moved
My outlook is at odds with your advice
And neither can be proved
Would I know joy if it slapped me
Would I know happiness if it happened
Or would I toss it right back
Saying who are you
Don't make fun of me
Come back when you know how to love me
Give me something real
Give me some action

I'm thinking about becoming a negative person
Everything just seems easier that way
I could stop ignoring the overwhelming evidence
That life is shit and it's gonna get worse everyday
Bliss is the ignorance of children and of fools
Who was I to think that I was subject to different rules
Maybe it's correct to be a bummer
All the bummer people I know can't be wrong
You are gonna think the new me is so intelligent
When I tell you why I hate your favorite song
No one gets to keep that kind of sunshine in their eyes
You can fight it for a long time
But it still dies
I used to think that everyone was just trying their best
Sometimes I think maybe I still do
I think I may have become a negative person
But thinking something doesn't make it true

You Alone

I promise to
Always be there for you
Lost and lonely blue
Left for dead on the inside
Your heart was full
And that lightning was terrible
Slipping across that road
Who should you see waiting smiling
Oh what you need
Will come to you have faith
You may not know its face
But I will be the one who
Holds your hand when the cards come down
The line was short
It was an underwhelming day
I wanted to go home to stay
The cold of a familiar bedsheet
In the backyard
The jackal sat and devoured love
They were a demon sent from above
The cruel clockwork of the blue sky
You know the score
We fall upon the earth
It's the price we pay for birth
But I will be the one who
Kisses you when you're all alone
I wanna be with you when I wanna be alone
So let them come
Let storm clouds ruin all the fun
We'll make our own and call it done
With each other to hold I'll never lose hope
I'll never go
My universe is personal
Against all odds you brought me home
I think your love is the one I used to dream of
Oh what you need
Will come to you have faith
You may not know my face
But I will be the one who
Holds your hand when the cards come down
We fall upon the earth
It's the price we pay for birth
But I will be the one who
Kisses you when you're all alone
I wanna be with you when I wanna be alone
